Agency
PREMIUM

Skates very well, with balance and noteworthy speed, and handles the puck with ease and control at top speeds. Displays a dangerously accurate shot that he is never hesitant to use; often a threat in the offensive zone. Uses his frame well, to protect the puck, as well as to impose physically upon the opposition. Defensively stable and actively cuts off passing and shooting lanes. Could be more creative, but is more of a straight-line player. (Curtis Joe, EP 2016)

Had dual citizenship, Czech and Russian. Gave up the Czech one in July 2023 to not be counted as a foreigner in KHL after he went to Togiatti for try-out.
